Flexperks listed examples: "United, American, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, Sun Country", however BEWARE that "non U.S. merchants" are not supposed to work (i.e. British Airway & Emirates). Supervisor has said that this list hasn't been updated to exclude non-US airlines. Note that it will be difficult to get any transactions covered if Real-time Rewards do not work automatically.

/ignore - looks like there was a processing delay and now it shows the change/cancel buttons. Will cancel after 24 hrs to get credit into my wallet.
Does the Alaska Flex Perks trick still work? I booked an Alaska ticket using 20k flex perks, went to see the ticket on Alaskaair.com and it does not show the ticket value and does not let me change/cancel the ticket. Called the Alaska customer service, agent cannot see the ticket number and not able to change/cancel it. I am within the 24 hr cancellation period and debating if I am SOL or should I cancel and pay flex perks the $30 cancellation fee or just wait after 24 hrs and call alaska to cancel it.
Any ideas, help will be much appreciated.

I recommend waiting as "long as possible"

What was your result with AS?
If you buy a refundable AA tkt what happens? do you keep the credit or does it go to USBAnk?

It worked for me last month on AS. Waited 30 hours and got a $590 some AS Wallet credit for 30000 flexperks. Make sure to book a flight that’s at least 65 days out so you can wait out the time and still get the free cancellation for credit. I’d choose 90 plus days to be safe. And don’t book a Refudable Y fare, or else it will go to original form of credit, which isn’t want you want.

Hey guess what? It's already December 31 in the FlexPerks time zone. Guess I'm not making those last three redemptions at the old rate.
Arrrrrrrrrrgh.

Booked a $599.80 tick on AS with my 30k FlexPerks last week and just cancelled. Credit now available. Now waiting a sale on that STL-SAN nonstop for this summer!

Personally, this change works out OK for me. I only have 18k points on my card so not enough to buy a ticket with the old program. I don't pay an annual fee on it because I got an offer a few years ago for a no-fee card if I had a relationship with the bank (i.e., at least one other account). Conveniently, I have a checking account with them which is free if I have a relationship, plus I have the Cash+ card, so everything ends up being free. So what I was trying to get to is that I don't have to worry about paying the annual fee to keep the points alive. At some point I'll probably find a use for my points, although I guess I should make sure that they do not expire on me.

I assume you're missing the word "not" there.

Even with the program change, I feel this card is underappreciated. Points are now worth 1.5 cents (travel), but earn at a rate of 2 points (3 cents) on groceries, which is descent. Your deal for a free card is even better.
